The American Sign Language Linguistic Research Project

Boston University, Gallaudet University, and Rutgers University

The American Sign Language Linguistic Research Project involves researchers from these three universities, working together on the syntax of ASL. In addition, in collaboration with Dartmouth College, we are developing a tool called SignStream for the coding and analysis of video-based data.

A number of reports and doctoral dissertations are now available in portable document format (pdf) and can be downloaded from the project's website:

With respect to the SignStream project http://www.bu.edu/ASLLRP/SignStream, we would be especially interested to receive feedback as to features that potential users (linguists working with video-based data) might find useful, to assist us with ongoing design and development.
